Du Toit = Discipline

When you face a dream deferred, a dream derailed, a puncture on your journey, do you give up, or perservere? That thing you need to keep going is a combination of commitment, grit, sacrifice, stubbornness. Discipline.

She is not just here to take part but is aiming, realistically, for a top-ten
finish, despite her obvious disadvantage. The wise 10km swimmer conserves
energy in their legs and then kicks for the line. Du Toit does not have that
luxury so must go out strong to put herself in contention.
